Cart32 c32web.exe ImageName Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 26924

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

Cart32, a shopping cart application, is installed on the remote host.

The remote installation of Cart32 fails to sufficiently validate input to the 'GetImage' function of 'c32web.exe' script before returning the contents of arbitrary files, not just image files as intended. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve arbitrary files, such as the application's configuration or database files.

Solution

Upgrade to Cart32 version 6.4 as that version reportedly resolves the issue.
